Mobidget : A platform for mobile and distributed systems adaptive to Internet/Intranet

Current electronic markets require highly flexible and dynamic computer systems. For example, a supply chain management system, which creates added value by combining and utilizing various types of information in a network, covers both the Internet and intranets. This makes it difficult for systems to work efficiently if they are designed statically and inflexibly. Moreover, since new business models are continually being developed, quick reconfiguration and dynamic modification are critical in designing the systems. This paper proposes a way of creating such systems by integrating agent migration, distributed objects, and multi-threading. These are implemented in a network programming language called Mobidget.
